I’ve Seen More Improvement In Two Years Of Reviewing EVs Than I Did In A Decade Testing Gas Cars

As EVs rapidly improve in every key area, it's getting harder and harder to imagine a future for gasoline engines. They just can't keep up.

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid acceleration in EV technology and manufacturing scale is reaching a critical mass, making their advantages over internal combustion engines increasingly undeniable and visible to the public.

Why it’s important

This indicates a decisive tipping point in the automotive industry's transition, with profound implications for energy infrastructure, manufacturing, and global supply chains.

What changes

The perceived viability and consumer appeal of EVs are solidifying, rapidly eroding the remaining competitive advantages of gasoline vehicles and accelerating their obsolescence.

Winners
  • · EV manufacturers
  • · Battery technology developers
  • · Renewable energy sector
  • · Critical mineral suppliers
Losers
  • · Internal combustion engine manufacturers
  • · Oil and gas industry
  • · Traditional auto parts suppliers
  • · Gas station networks
Second-order effects
Direct

Consumer adoption of EVs will intensify, driven by performance and cost advantages.

Second

Governments will accelerate policies supporting EV infrastructure and disincentivizing fossil fuel vehicles, further shifting demand.

Third

The global energy mix will transform more rapidly, placing increased strain on existing grids and accelerating investment in smart grid and energy storage solutions.
